This item lets you select the IDE hard disk parameters that
your system supports. These parameters are Size, Number
of Cylinder, Number of Head, Start Cylinder for Pre-
compensation, Cylinder number of Head Landing Zone and
Number of Sector per Track. The default setting is Auto,
which enables BIOS to automatically detect the parameters
of installed HDD at POST (Power-On Self Test). If you prefer
to enter HDD parameters manually, select Manual. Select
None if no HDD is connected to the system.
The IDE CDROM is always automatically detected.
